Well if there's lawyers getting involved, or the threat of such, that's what the five eyes (and the other "n eyes") are for. And then you can just call it a "minimization error during routine data sharing with foreign intelligence partners" that happened to sweep up tons of domestic US data.

Right, you end up with this sharing to get around legal issues.

Technical issues are a bit different though. Australian intelligence does not have rooms in any AT&T building I think. Though perhaps they perform some legal tricks to give them access and then roundtrip the info.

I hope they at least feel bad doing so.
